Why Are Humans in the Image of God?

Are human beings an accident of random mutations in a world that has no purpose or meaning? Are love and goodness just psycho-biological delusions?

No. Human beings have incredible meaning and purpose because God set in motion the process by which all people have come to be. God has a plan and a purpose for every person. Indeed, the Bible says that all humans are made "in the image of God." He has something wonderful in mind for us.
